When I was a small child growing up in Philadelphia, my dad used to smear a breakfast pancake with jam and wrap it around a sausage to make breakfast fun. It still tastes wonderful, especially with spicy sausage or chiles added to the jam.

My grandmother was Slovak and made kick ass perohi, the Slovak version of pierogi. Half of hers had the standard potato and cheese and half were filled with prunes that had been rehydrated and made into a thick paste.

First boiled then fried with butter and onions. It’s a great savory and sweet combo. I’ve also done it with dried apricots.
